Fun Fun Fun Fest has its first full, four stage festival day today in Austin (schedule here). Weird Al's two-hour Yoda-ending set was awesome last night on night one (which was basically a Weird Al concert with Todd Barry and Apples in Stereo opening). I wish I could say the same about the Antlers, but I missed their afterparty set due to me coming down with some nasty bug that has me hacking as I type this. Not only was I in bad shape by the end of Weird Al's outdoor set, it was cold out and The Antlers was an outside show too. Hoping to make it through this weekend alive.

I saw Weird Al over the summer in Asbury Park. It was insanely good. His band is AMAZING and his guitarist can play pretty much anything. I have always thought he was under-rated as a "novelty" guy. I'm glad he's getting some respect.

ATP people: now that he's doing the Godspeed ATP in England and he's in your system, give me Dare to be Stupid as a Don't Look Back ATPNY 2011!!!!!!

I bought pre-order tickets through pop-montreal. thought they were going to mail them and they never came. That'll teach me to rely on tickets in the mail as a reminder about a show I plan to go see. #needtouseacalendar
